The federal Project Grant award S10OD038204 was provided by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of Research Infrastructure Programs (ORIP), under the CFDA program 93.351 - Research Infrastructure Programs. The $578,070 award will fund the purchase of a high-resolution portable photon counting computed tomography (CT) scanner, the OmniTom Elite, to be shared by researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Boston Children's Hospital. This specialized CT scanner will expand research capabilities across diverse fields focused on deciphering biological and physiological disease mechanisms, from animal models to human subjects. The compact, self-shielded scanner can be placed in laboratories or animal research facilities, eliminating the need to relocate research subjects and equipment. The photon counting detector technology offers advantages such as reduced image artifacts, improved contrast-to-noise ratio, and multi-energy imaging. MGH will establish a core facility to manage user applications, scheduling, and regulatory compliance for this cutting-edge research instrumentation, which will be rotated between the MGH main campus and the Martinos Center to facilitate broad access. The award period runs from August 1, 2025 to July 1, 2026.
